As was demonstrated in this section, leadership can be learned; and mastering many of the strategies we have been practicing are critical to becoming a great leader. “Trustworthiness: or ethos, is key. Second is valuing and respecting those who you lead.

Maya Angelou says it so well. “… people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”Consider your life so far, and think of a leader that exemplifies the characteristics in this section. What was it about them that made the extraordinary leaders? This individual can be someone you had direct contact with, or can be someone out of history or in the news.

Please write about your thoughts. Your discussion should be a minimum of 300 words. Please comment on three other postings. Due Sunday March 11th before midnight.

Put together your outline for the speech, communications homework help

/in /by

Outline and Sources

One objective we are striving for in this course is to create a detailed preparation outline. By now you should have narrowed down your persuasive speech topic. This week we’ll put together your outline for the speech. You’ll also need to include four sources you’d like to use. You don’t have to use the exact sources for the speech but it’s in place to give a head start on your research.

For the outline, follow the template below. To help in brainstorming you can use the bubble chart below as well. The bubble chart doesn’t need to be included for the submission. It’s just there to help. For the outline give ideas as to what you’d present for each part. For instance if you were to use the topic about cutting back on sugar you can start with an attention getter about the movie Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Then for the main point you can talk about health. Then fill in with other statements that goes with health. Then for the second main point it could be about weight or finding energy from other foods, etc. Remember each point can be brief. Just give an idea of what you think you’d mention. You don’t have to give any research or things like that, just ideas for each point.

Then after your outline copy and paste four sources you may use (they don’t have to be the final sources you’ll use). Paste them like you would in a reference page that I’ll be able to look at the sources for review. If you have any questions please let me know!

essays to write

/in /by

The Final Exam will consist of TWO short essays of about 5 paragraphs responding to two different topics. You MUST write on both topics, and you MUST engage your texts. This requires a) preparing carefully for the exam by choosing a set of quotes that you think could fit into essays on both topics before you get the thesis statements. An essay that doesn’t use direct quotes from the textbook will not pass.

Trying to find quotes during the exam will almost certainly lead to a poor result.

You may use your textbooks and discussion boards (a good rule of thumb is at least one direct quote from the textbook per paragraph) to answer two specific questions that will be given in the exam.

The two general topics (again, you must write on both):

  1. Images of Gender–we have been discussing this theme all term–it was on the Mid-Term, but our discussions keep coming back to this topic, so I think it’s worth exploring over the course of our readings.
  2. Images of Morals and Morality coming from heroic figures (of all kinds) in World Literature. This has also be a theme in many of our discussions–so think about what the lessons are that these stories suggest to us and whether or not they have continuing value today.

Take about an hour to complete each of your responses–but be detailed and specific–a response without direct quotes from all three texts you choose will likely not pass.

Health care statistics question 2

/in /by

Part 1:


The managed care organization has asked you to put together a spreadsheet that shows a comparison between 3 diseases that are impacting 3 different countries. Because your department will be coming up for an accreditation performance review, this is a good time to start to evaluate data. In recent years, studies have indicated an increase in overall rates for cancer, HIV/AIDS, and obesity.

Use the library, textbook, and the Web site for the World Health Organization (WHO) to research and explain why there is such a profound change in these countries during the time span. Prepare a PowerPoint presentation of 8–10 slides with speaker notes of 75-150 words not including title or reference pages.

Part 2:

Prepare an Excel spreadsheet that comparies and contrasts data addressing the following:

  • Compare data from the United States, Canada, and Cuba.
  • Analyze obesity, cancer, and HIV/AIDS in these countries.
  • Data should be viewed from 2008 to 2010.
  • Calculate the percentage of change from one year to the next.
  • Provide an explanation for the changes from 2008–2010.

Unions in the workplace

/in /by

Unions have declined in scope and importance over the past 20 to 30 years. Today, less than 10% of the U.S. workforce is represented by a union, and most of those members work for the public sector. However, there are still powerful unions in other countries. Given these thoughts, address the following:

  • The role of unions in the workplace today.
  • The principal value that unions can bring to the workplace, along with the challenges they may also present to the organization.
  • The challenges that human resources may experience in creating a conducive relationship between unions and management in foreign countries as opposed to in the domestic country.

Requirements:

  • Your written paper should be three to four pages in length, not counting the required title and reference pages.
  • You need to cite at least two sources for this assignment, outside of the textbook. These should be scholarly or peer-reviewed resources.
  • Your paper must be formatted according to APA Requirements.

Grammar and punctuation are key! Sample paper attached.
